Chapter 212: The Japanese once again break through the defense
The apology letter and the check for 10 million US dollars were placed in front of Liu Hongmin. Jeff Xiaozuka said, "Mr. Liu, we are very sincere this time."
Liu Hongmin picked up the apology letter, looked at the Japanese text on it, and then handed it to a staff member nearby, "Help me find someone to translate it."
"Okay, Comrade Redmin!"
The staff member took the apology letter and left quickly.
Liu Hongmin picked up the check again and handed it to Chen Yu next to him, and then said to Jeff Xiaozhong: "Mr. Xiaozhong, let me verify it first."
"No problem at all."
Jeff Kozuka nodded. The apology letter and the check were both real, and Liu Hongmin could verify them in any way he wanted.
Soon, the staff came back and took back the original and translated copy of the apology letter. Renjiaoshe is full of talented people, so it won't take long to translate an apology letter.
Liu Hongmin took a look at the translated manuscript. He felt that apology was indeed a traditional skill of the Japanese devils. The apology letter was so sincere and heartfelt that it brought tears to people's eyes.
Jeff Xiaozuka said proudly: "Mr. Liu, there is no problem with this apology letter, right?"
"No problem."
Liu Hongmin casually handed the original and translated version of the apology letter to Chen Yu and said, "Send them to the Xinguang Daily and have them published tomorrow."
Xiaozuka Jeff was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Liu, we have already been published in the local newspaper, so there is no need to put it in the newspaper, right?"
Liu Hongmin: "It's all in the newspapers, what are you afraid of?"
Kozuka was speechless. He stopped it to avoid further embarrassment. The apology letter had already been published in the Japanese newspaper. Although it was a tabloid, they still felt embarrassed. The "New Light Daily" was a supplement to the "Renming Daily" and could be seen throughout China. If this apology letter was published in the "New Light Daily", the whole of China would know about it.
But he really couldn't think of any reason to stop it!
Chen Yu chuckled, took the apology letter and the translation and went out. When he came back, he walked to Liu Hongmin and said, "The money in the check has been cashed."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "I understand."
After saying this, he continued to drink his tea calmly.
Xiaozuka Jeff was a little anxious. "Mr. Liu, since there is no problem with the money and the apology letter, then the cultural exchange this time..."
Liu Hongmin put down his teacup and said, "I can't go!"
"Why?" Jeff Kozuka stood up. He felt that he had been fooled by Liu Hongmin.
"Mr. Liu, you promised me, you can't go back on your word!"
Liu Hongmin looked at him strangely, "Why don't I keep my word?"
"You said that as long as we produce an apology letter and compensate you for your financial losses, you will consider going to our country for cultural exchange?"
Liu Hongmin nodded, "I've considered it! I really want to go, after all, I haven't been to your country yet. But unfortunately, I have something else to do recently and can't spare the time!"
"May I ask what this is about? If it's about the mutual review of textbooks, we can go to our country to discuss it," asked Jeff Kozuka.
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "No, it's my personal matter."
"Personal matters?" Liu Hongmin spread his hands. "My wife is pregnant. She is from Hong Kong and is not used to living in Beijing. I have to accompany her, so I can only miss this cultural exchange event with regret."
Jeff Ozuka felt it was ridiculous that such a big thing as mutual review of textbooks was not as important as him accompanying his wife.
"Mr. Liu, please don't joke around. Doesn't your wife have any family? Does she really need you to accompany her?"
Liu Hongmin glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xiaozhong, if I don't accompany my wife, do I have to accompany others?"
Xiaozuka Jiefu was speechless again, not knowing what to say. It was obvious that Liu Hongmin had no intention of going to the Japanese side. Even if he didn't use the excuse of accompanying his wife, he would have other excuses. If he continued to pester him, I'm afraid Liu Hongmin would come up with something even more ridiculous.
Liu Hongmin didn't want to argue with him, so he stood up and said, "It's time to get off work, Mr. Xiaozhong, let's leave it at that for now."
Xiaozuka Jiefu wanted to fight for it, but Liu Hongmin didn't even want to stay and turned around and left. Xiaozuka Jiefu had no choice but to go back and report.
When the person in charge heard the report from Jeff Kozuka, he was so angry that he kept slamming the table, "Asshole! Liu Hongmin is such a bastard! He is just playing tricks on us!"
Kozuka Jeff: "Sir, now is not the time to be angry. We should think about how to report to the mainland. If we don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid we will have to bear the blame for this matter."
The person in charge sighed, "We are definitely responsible for this. The locals will be furious when they hear this news. Not only did we waste 10 million US dollars, but we also brought shame to the whole of China. Those politicians will want to kill us."
"Therefore, the mutual review of textbooks must be done well, otherwise we will just become scapegoats."
Jeff Kozuka nodded and said, "I will continue to look for Liu Hongmin tomorrow. Even if he doesn't come to our place, I will finalize the mutual review of textbooks. He received 10 million US dollars from us, so he can't just do nothing, right?"
"I'll leave this matter to you. I'll handle the mainland side. Jeff, we are now in the same boat, so there must be no mistakes in this matter."
Xiaozuka Jeff nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely take care of Liu Hongmin."
After Jeff Kozuka left, the person in charge immediately wrote a report on the matter and reported it to the local authorities.
After receiving the report, the Japanese immediately caused an uproar.
"Asshole! Liu Hongmin, that asshole, is dead!"
"What are those two bastards doing? They were fooled by Liu Hongmin."
"How many times has this happened? You actually let that bastard Liu Hongmin trick you? Don't you remember to eat but not to be beaten?"
What made them even more angry was that the next day, the New Light Daily reported the apology letter, and the whole of China knew that the Japanese had apologized to Liu Hongmin. The whole nation was discussing this matter, many people were celebrating, and some even bought firecrackers and set them off in the street. It was simply a celebration for all.
These incidents were quickly reported in the newspapers and became more and more serious, especially in areas where people hated the Japanese, where some spontaneous celebrations even took place.
While the Chinese were celebrating, the Japanese were in grief.
It was so embarrassing, and it was so embarrassing. The Japanese politicians were furious. They couldn't do anything to Liu Hongmin, so they could only vent their anger on the small publishing house. Soon, the small publishing house closed down, and the owner was left on the street because of bankruptcy.
He angrily cursed the politicians: "Assholes! You asked me to apologize, and now you are ashamed of me, you are a bunch of bastards who are willing to burn bridges after crossing the river!"
Another unlucky guy, Jeff Kozuka, approached Liu Hongmin again, "Mr. Liu, even if you don't participate in cultural exchange, this shouldn't affect the cooperation on mutual review of textbooks, right?"
